Google Pixel 3 XL Expert Review Summary

Verdict
So where does that leave us? I wish the answer was binary. Don t get me wrong, I want to love the Pixel 3 XL, considering I used the first-gen Pixel as my daily driver and always considered the Pixel 2 XL as the phone to beat when it comes to cameras and software fluidity (though the device had serious issues with regards to the display). However, Rs 83,000 for Google s latest is a huge ask, especially when you take into account the rivals. It s also hard to justify more than 10 percent jump in price, since the Pixel 2 XL started at Rs 73,000 and its successor is an iterative upgrade.Everythin...

Pros
- A stunning always-on display
- Still the best camera around
- Flagship internals ensure smooth performance
- A powerful battery with wireless charging support
Cons
- The deep-and-wide notch is hard to ignore
- The software is riddled with bugs
- 4GB RAM might pose problems in long-term use
- Steep pricing
Summary
+
I've been using the larger sibling of the third-gen Pixel, the Pixel 3 XL for the better part of a week, but the review will apply equally to the smaller Pixel 3, except for the display and battery. Specs-wise, the phone might not seem to be able to match up to similarly-priced rivals, but I can tell you that there's more to the Google handset when you scratch the surface. The best part is that the brand has worked on the critique, and this year's smartphone doesn't seem to be facing any display-related issues. The phone offers smooth performance, incredible cameras (that won't disappoint in any situation), long-lasting battery and of course, the taste of useful features with Android 9.0 Pie. All in all, you'll love the Pixel 3 XL in the day-to-day use. Well, that's the TLDR version of the individual aspects, and if you don't want to dive into the details, then simply skip towards the end to read the comparison with rivals and the verdict. Others can stick around till the end to see what exactly the Google Pixel 3 XL brings to the table.

Operating System: AndroidOS Version: 9.0, PieThe Pixel 3 XL isn't the first smartphone to ship with the latest iteration of Android 9.0 Pie, but it does come with a number of useful features (with some of them being exclusive to the handset). In terms of the interface, there isn't much difference from the previous iteration of Google's mobile OS. There's a dedicated screen on the left of the homescreen to access the Google feed, while the search bar on the main screen has moved to the bottom making it easier to reach. The date and time widget doubles up as an at-a-glance view for your appointments and meetings, which is quite handy. The quick settings menu also remain the same.

During my use, there was nary an instance when the smartphone stuttered or showed any lag while navigation, jumping between apps, or using split-screen multitasking. Thanks to the excellent OS optimisation, the phone usually had around a GB of RAM to spare, which is quite good.
